Seven pearls, two of which are 3 cm.
Ancient pearls that once served as currency. Beads of this type (Millefiori), made of glass paste, come from Venice (Murano) in particular, but also from other European countries such as Czechoslovakia. From the 14th century, they were exchanged on the African continent for various goods: gold, ivory, etc. Jewelry, like necklaces, could also be part of the dowry. Symbolizing wealth, pearls also refer to lives dependent on a whole. In black Africa, clan leaders held necklaces symbolizing the clan, each pearl a family. Among the Baluba, pearls were placed in the hand of the deceased in order to buy their pass into the afterlife.
